Notes: 1. Latitude/longitude, including for days in port, show representative decimal positions for each day, as calculated by the Old Weather project's analysis program. As such, they differ by varying amounts from the positions recorded, usually at noon, in the log pages. In addition, some latitudes/longitudes have been amended in edited logs for errors in the logs, for errors in identifying locations by the analysis program, or simply for greater accuracy. In all cases, refer to the log-page scans for the positions as originally recorded. Not all log pages contain this information and the ships' positions have therefore often been estimated. 2. Full account of any day is available by clicking on the link above that day. Groups of links refer to log book covers and introductory information; some may be blank. Editor’s notes: Where I have been able to research Personnel, a ship, a place name, or other facts, I have placed underlined ‘links’ in the narrative to help the reader find further research. Several armaments mentioned in the logs may not be familiar to the reader. The following is a brief listing. The Ordnance QF 3 pounder Vickers (47mm / L50) was a British artillery piece first tested in Britain in 1910. It was used on Royal Navy warships. It was more powerful than and unrelated to the older Quick Firing 3 pounder Hotchkiss, with a propellant charge approximately twice as large, but it initially fired the same Lyddite and Steel shells as the Hotchkiss The Wight Seaplane was a British twin-float Seaplane produced by J Samuel White & Company Limited (Wight Aircraft). It was also known as the Admiralty Type 840. The Schneider aircraft also called the Sopwith Tabloid were British biplanes, originally designed as sports aircraft and later adapted for military use. They were among the first types to be built by the Sopwith Aviation Company The Short Admiralty Type 184, often called the Short 225 after the power rating of the engine first fitted, was a British two-seat reconnaissance, bombing and torpedo carrying folding-wing Seaplane designed by Horace Short of Short Brothers. It was first flown in 1915 and remained in service until after the armistice in 1918. A Short 184 was the first aircraft to sink a ship using a torpedo, and another was the only British aircraft to take part in the Battle of Jutland. The Baby (also known as the Admiralty 8200 Type) was a development of the two-seat Sopwith Schneider. Although the Schneider had won the Schneider trophy in 1914, the RNAS did not place a formal order until January 1915. The initial, Sopwith built production version of the Baby differed little from the Schneider Trophy winner.[2] Further modified aircraft, designed to met the more demanding conditions of 1916-18, were later built by Blackburn Aircraft at Leeds, United Kingdom. In Italy, licensed manufacture was undertaken by SA Aeronautica Gio Ansaldo of Turin. A modified variant of the Baby, the Fairey Hamble Baby was built by Fairey and Parnall. The ‘Darken ship’ refers to wartime footing and the fact that a ship did NOT want to be in open water with all lights blazing which would make them a visible target for enemy ships. Warships normally ran at night with no lights showing. ‘Log reset’ – refers to the Patent Log – a rotored/propellered instrument towed behind the ship to measure distance travelled. Its ‘rotations’ are frequently mentioned in the Logs as a means of determining speed. It would be read and reset at intervals to determine how far the ship had travelled during a period of time. ‘Bower’ refers to the anchors carried at the bow of the ship. There are two (2) acceptable spellings of ‘Dispatch/Despatch’ and the logkeepers have tended to switch between them. I have followed their spellings as much a possible. Once in Port Mudros, Greece - the logkeepers vary – sometimes in the same Day - between Anti-aircraft ‘GUARD’ & Anti-aircraft ‘LOOKOUT.’ I have stayed with ‘GUARD’ for most of the log transcriptions. Many measurements will be mentioned in the Logs such as ‘Cable, Fathom, Shackle, and Mile (Nautical Mile). Data can be found on the link: Imperial Measures of Length Some links referring to Compass Deviation Records were ‘out of place’ in the narrative. I have left them there for ‘number sake’ but place them here also for ‘information’ about Ark Royal: 4edebcef14d0450578000ddf: (https://s3.amazonaws.com:443/oldweather/ADM53-34098/0042_0.jpg) Log Page – Record of Observations and Compass Deviation – Left half 4edebcef14d0450578000de0: (https://s3.amazonaws.com:443/oldweather/ADM53-34098/0042_1.jpg) Log Page – Record of Observations and Compass Deviation – Right half 4edebcef14d0450578000de1: (https://s3.amazonaws.com:443/oldweather/ADM53-34098/0043_0.jpg) Log Page – Record of Description and Position of Correctors – Left half 4edebcef14d0450578000de2: (https://s3.amazonaws.com:443/oldweather/ADM53-34098/0043_1.jpg) Log Page – Record of Comparisons of Standards with Compasses Follow the link for a list of all 483 ships met by H.M.S.
